I think it had some harsh stuff in it ...drugs and probably violence

Brief Summary from Wiki

William Seward Burroughs II (February 5, 1914(1914-02-05) – August 2, 1997; was an American novelist, essayist, social critic, painter and spoken word performer. Much of Burroughs's work is semi-autobiographical, drawn from his experiences as an opiate addict, a condition that marked the last fifty years of his life. A primary member of the Beat Generation, he was an avant-garde author who affected popular culture as well as literature. In 1984, he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
